Hi All,
I am generally in an okay career track as an IT Analyst in a company, but I've been here for 5 years and its pretty early on in my career without much room for growth because the company itself is contracting. I know I need to leave, but I have to work for about 2 hours per day and remote work almost every day which means I've had the chance to pursue my own entrepreneurial projects or coding projects, some of which have had real customers despite not really growing to the point where they'd meaningfully support me. But I also believe they are a learning process.
Anyway I think I am supposed to now get out of my current position. It has given me alot of time and freedom to learn stuff and to face trauma and stuff that I had as a young buck. I was really a late bloomer and had complex feelings about women and all kinds of stuff and myself. This job did give me the space to be at peaceful state and to pay of therapy and all kinds of stuff.
I think its time for the next phase. But the problem is that I think job searching requires you to send 50-500 applications. I really try to put alot of effort into each application such that the CV matches the job description. As such its a few hours per application. Wondering if this is a goofy way to approach it. Am I supposed to spam my CV everywhere even if its a bit off topic for the job. Also if you were me and you were 27. Would you be doing the same thing?
